I've spent almost my entire career working with Windows (Win 3.1) until now. Does anyone know where I can start on the beginner level? I've done a Linux install or 2 but have had to work with Unix and Linux only rarely & know little of their workings and commands. I was thinking of getting a Linux+ cert., but I also want to be somewhat accomplished so that I can switch roles from a Windows admin to a Linux admin.

Hey Superman :D If I know a lot about Windows and I have a client that wants me to attempt a Dual Boot with Win 7 Ult. on his laptop, which Linux would you suggest I gather him? I'm not sure of his level of computing on either platforms.

Hi. I'm a new member, just downloaded Cygwin 32 bit. I have Windows 8.1 64 bit. So, now I am downloading Cygwin 64, without uninstalling Cygwin 32, and the 64 bit is taking longer than 20 min. Is it normal? Please confirm compatibility with Windows 8.1?

Look at the "Inbox" at the top of the page. Hover the cursor over that and click "Start new conversation". Then, in the new window, type like you would any other thread, but in the "Participants" box, list all users on this site that you want to include in this private thread/conversation.

We use that to collaborate like when we made this article (http://www.linux.org/threads/yin-yang-tux.5240/) together. Me and anyone you include can help you and add ideas. Or, if you prefer to email it directly to me only, my email is DevynCJohnson@Gmail.com

hi sir can you put more photo and video in your Linux kernel tutorial it very simple and understand (just put more photo)
and if i want to learn and understand Linux command line (terminal) what reference or book you will recommend to me
my regards

I am not sure which books would be the best, but some Linux users recommend this one (http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php). You could probably use any that you get from a library or Amazon.com. Personally, I have never found a bad Linux book. Linux.org and Linux.com are two good sites to learn about Linux.
